here says 3 years. But then it’s in Ang mo land. In the tropics with our heat and humidity everything breaks down much quicker. 

It also depends on if it is the original paint.? Resprayed cars without proper prep will see the paint being peeled off even with 3M i assume.

for me it too many unknowns. No real hard and fast rule. Unless the shop guarantees you? With a full body respray if their wrap peels off your paint? I doubt any would dare to claim that. 

 

So in the end it’s luck. And the skill of the person removing the wrap. My guess is 2years in the hot sun with the correct 3M wrap should be safe. 

Thanks. Good estimate I think and most people who wrap will get fed up and want a change in a couple of years anyway.

will changing the colour of the car using wrap cause any issue during inspection?

Gotta register it I think. I've never done it before.

I think you can log onto to OneMotoring and lodge an application to get the colour changed.

why would anyone choose a stinger 2.0 over a mazda 6 2.5?

 

the mazda 6 looks longer and also lower in price almost 20k diff

Mazda 6 is very cramped inside, about Civic sized only.

 

Mazda 2.5L power op is just nowhere near Stinger 250hp 2L. 

 

And Stinger is RWD, its a lot of fun at the turns. Makes u a Hollywood driver at every turn LOL

why would some girl buy a gucci or prada bag over a kate spade bag? Kate spade have bigger bag and cost cheaper.

not saying stinger is prada or mz6 is kate spade, but they are plenty of reasons to buy stinger over a mz6, as long as the reasons resonate with u

I had teckwrap high gloss wrap for my current car's roof. About 2.5 years. Zero residue when removed. No damage for the paint.

Ditto for the fake 6D China carbon wrap for my wing mirrors. Zero residue after 2.5 years.

I'm seldom parked directly under the afternoon sun though.

Now back to stock look. Looks very naked hahaa.

Both are good cars in their own right, each with their pros and cons.

I'll choose Stinger for the looks, interior and most importantly, power.

For car fanatic, the choice is obvious between stinger and Mz6.

Depends on driving habits and pattern

If gentle driver both are good cars, but for younger guys who like to floor the car and zoom zoom, then better not choose the mazda6

Honestly, cant really compare Stinger with Maz 6. Not just the price. its different level 

 

[Gymrat76]

I get around 8-9km/L.. that's about average on the 2.0L with gentle driving so far (still in the running in period)
